A genuine question here: how do Barcelona plan on playing Deco, Ronaldinho and Giuly? All 3 are EXTRMELY similar. I'm aware that Giuly can play on the right, and that both Deco and Goofy can play left, however all 3 are way more ffective when in the hole behind the strikers. Bizarre signings.

Deco is cccrraaaaappp by the way :-)

I thought it was odd that Barca would sign Deco since he is kind of similar to Giuly and those two and Ronaldinho all are better off when they play the same role. However, the signings do give Barca an extremely creative midfield, and you already said that Deco can play on the left and Giuly can play on the right so you pretty much answered your own question. :)

Not really though, since none of them actually like to play those roles. Barce have Xavi as their only real defensive minded midfielder. Competing for the other positions are Deco, Ronaldinho, Giuly and Riquelme. 3 of those guys practically play as second forwards. Can't see how it will work.
